About Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity
A defining feature of Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity’s grantmaking is its recurring support for chapter assistance and loan forgiveness. In the two largest recent grants on file, the foundation gave $1,193,051 in 2023 and $1,133,588 in 2025 to Alpha Xi Delta National Housing Corporation in Indianapolis for that purpose. That pattern places member and chapter support at the center of the foundation’s work, alongside scholarships, leadership development, emergency financial assistance, and the fraternity’s national philanthropic partnership. The foundation’s structure reflects a close relationship to the Alpha Xi Delta organization itself. Its active programs include scholarships for undergraduate, graduate, and alumnae members; grants for chapter educational programming; leadership awards tied to national institutes and Panhellenic involvement; and emergency aid for members affected by natural disasters. It also supports alumnae professional development through non-credit conferences, seminars, and related programs. Across these programs, the foundation directs funds to Alpha Xi Delta chapters, associations, and members, with eligibility often tied to chapter affiliation or member status. The giving profile emphasizes internal capacity, education, and direct member support rather than broad external grantmaking.
What Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity Funds
Chapter programming is a major part of the foundation’s work. Through Askey Grants, Alpha Xi Delta chapters and associations can fund educational programs for the broader community, including leadership development, alcohol education, character development, academic achievement, date rape prevention, career preparation, and health issues. Scholarships are another core area. The Available Scholarships program supports Alpha Xi Delta members and alumnae in undergraduate, graduate, and professional study, with awards shaped by chapter affiliation, academic field, class year, or alumna status. A broader Alpha Xi Delta Foundation Scholarships program also provides need-based and merit-based support across a range of fields of study. Leadership development appears in several programs. The LeaderShape Institute Grants fund undergraduate members’ participation in the institute in Allerton, Illinois, and the Dorothy Dodd Panhellenic Leadership Grants support delegates or officers seeking to deepen leadership skills and Panhellenic values. The foundation also supports member assistance through Heart Fund Grants for natural-disaster relief and Zelma Patchin Grants for alumnae pursuing personal or professional development.
